The meat of the work Valve did was with the compatibility layer, not SteamOS itself. This means you can choose any distro you’re comfortable with and games will work as well as they do in SteamOS. I recommend Bazzite.

I will flex this knowledge at work. Thanks.

Yeah, that’s what I’m dealing with these days…sigh. It won’t be a problem for a while. Hopefully the AI of the future is trained for the edge case.

If it’s for the front-end, you can represent it however you want. But yyyymmdd is the way to store it.

As long as it’s easy to manipulate at the back end. IBM DB2 date/time format uses 25 characters, and includes 6 decimal places for the seconds.

Natural numbers work backwards, units are in order from big to small. That also does not store well on databases or Excel. You can’t sort it as text. YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm

Not just any hobby, any country. You think this country still uses fax machines and are a bunch of racists? You think that country doesn’t believe in vaccines and elected a moron? You think that country is committing a genocide?

I’m the opposite. Legato stuff is much easier.

What does Netflix have to do with it? They still kill your favorite shows, and overcharge with ads. The first two words were not necessary in this headline.

Exploited? You mean working to earn money, like everyone else?

This feels like a projection of their deity. Did they want to conflate the mystery of their god to the mystery of electricity? I guess I’m a theist now…

I wish people here understand this. It costs money to buy property, and so effort needed to be applied into buying one was done beforehand by being good with money. Rich people don’t need to go through this, and should rightfully be criticized.

As long as you back up your data, experiment to find what you want. If you have an empty spare drive, try out the different options there. It’s been a month since I moved to Bazzite. My plan was to try Mint and Bazzite while also keeping a Windows 10 ISO in my boot drive (Ventoy will allow you to have as many ISO in your USB stick). If things get too difficult, I could always go back to Windows 10. But using Bazzite has been a breeze, I decided I didn’t even need Mint. Every time I think I need to open up the terminal for any issues, I find that the solution doesn’t require it.

Yeah, definitely share your medical records with chatbots.

Careful, this might get picked up as training data.

I don’t have to make that assumption to know that you shouldn’t sell a product that doesn’t work.

I see. I just started using Bazzite and Mint, and I find myself liking Bazzite more. I’d be bummed to find out they were corporate all along, like Android.

If it’s most, and not all, they are not locked out. If 3rd party releases a product that doesn’t work, that sounds like it’s on them. I’ve never bought a Nintendo device, but it’s so easy to think this is all on them.

I saw an interview on Youtube with the guy heading the Bazzite development. Apparently, he’s a “Microsoft Linux Community Manager”. What exactly is Microsoft’s involvement with Bazzite?

I also started using Bazzite recently, but not because of him. But this new video is giving me ideas on what other things I can do. The Linux one popped up in my suggested videos too, and I thought there was good starter information there too. I don’t really know much about him otherwise.
